this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

One of the major reasons the Bush Administration and neocons were able to lead US into the disastrous War on Terror and lie to the public was due to journalists and commentators who parroted the propaganda and beat the war drums.

One of my biggest disappointments in American discourse over the past decade has been the mainstream media. With very few exceptions, they have failed the American people miserably.

Major media are afraid to tell us that Trump is in the process of setting up a dictatorship. They know it — everyone closely following the news knows it — but they fear that telling such a stark truth would seem “partisan” and make them a target. Their failure to sound the alarm endangers us all.

A new poll shows that if AOC would beat Chuck Schumer in a Democratic primary in 2028 by TWENTY ONE POINTS. I truly hope she runs for that Senate seat. His words and deeds have proven him to be utterly ineffective in fighting the clear and present fascist danger.

As you contemplate that Donald Trump used pro-terrorism conduct as his baseless pretext to prohibit foreign students from attending Harvard, remember that on his first day on the job, Trump freed some adjudged terrorists from prison.

Why do people (here, NYT) still describe DOGE as a cost-cutting team when ... it hasn't? Just on lost tax revenues alone it's deeply in the hole. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Talk of disappearing anyone into gulags in El Salvador is an affront to our Constitution. We need a few Republicans members to find the spine to join House Democrats in impeachment proceedings against the Fascist-in-Chief.

I'm 100% in favor of everyone calling CECOT a concentration camp after today. The AP can do so since Trump didn't let them cover today's presser, in seeming defiance of Trevor McFadden.

If Christ showed up in today's America, the "Christians" in the Trump regime would persecute him. Instead of dying on Calvary hill, he might die in a Salvadoran prison.

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.

As Trump drives our economy over the cliff, I'm re-upping a piece I wrote last month. Why won't the media report the obvious fact that Trump is mentally unfit to be president? They had no problem raising questions about Biden, whose sin was old age, not greed, pathological lying and megalomania.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that if playing golf with the Saudis is more important to you than honoring our dead soldiers, or dealing with the financial crisis YOU started, you don't deserve to be President. RESIGN, trump. You piece of shit.

For every institution bending the knee to Trump like cowards, look at what a little robust pushback does? They're revealed to be weak and incompetent and forced to answer questions. You don't have to go out like a Reek. There's still time.

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who appreciates the fire shown by Rep. Al Green, who was ejected, and DEMs who walked out of last night's ugly trump speech. More should have booed, walked out, or even stayed home. It's time to get fucking hardcore.

A more accurate name for “America First” would be “Russia First.” Our president and VP have humiliated us on the world stage and sold out Ukraine—and the American people.That was one of the most disgraceful diplomatic performances in the history of the US.
